IN. The orator sst Down

Gen. George A. Sher idan Of Louis
lana tells another story on himself.
In the old days Of carpet baggers he
was paying his respects to William Pitt
Kellogg before = crowded audience in
New Orleans. Sheridan exhausted hi
store Of inyective in dealing with his
subject, and allowed his eloquence to
mount to this: IF every drop Of water
in that mighty Mississippi, whose
source is the SHOWS of the Far North
west, were sparkling diamond, and
every diamond mine, would not
stand in William Pitt Kellogg's shoes.
IF every grain of sand along its banks
were transmitted into gold and the
whole glittering pile streWn at my
feet, mine own, would not be in
his place. The Chairman quietly
rugged his coat-tail at this point and
whispered: "Sheridan. sit down; you
know you lie!'' The orator sat down.
On another occasion he was intro
duced to an audience in Central Illinois
by bucolic Chairman, who said: 1--WE
will now be addressed by gentleman
whose name is a familiar word from
Maine to the Missouri River. He is
one of the shiny chieftains Of our grand
old party. He has spoken to countless
thousands, and his elQAuence has spur
red hosts on to victory He will speak
to us in that same str9ln. I now in
troduce Mr.. - = and then
turning to Sheridan he hoarsely whis-

That winter the humid Pacific climate had
seemed to CONCEAL on the Oregon coast, and
over grass which had been scarcely pow
dered from sight for years, the snow now
stood three feet deep Great drifts bedded
the forests Canyons We're half choked,
and singing crystals Of snow still flew in
the air.
The dim night landscape swept away in
grandeur; hills massing on hills, their
density of pine verdure only suggested by
contrast with the snow. In summer day
light the lone mans clearing, his smaller
patch Of cultivation, his spring of living
water, and his path threading towards river
landing and post-office, might also have
been seen. But all these things were now
obliterated, and the cabin itself, shoulder
Ing against the hill, seemed losing its IA
miliar lines under the ceaseless erasure of
the snow twas indeed mere pen Of
logs, with chimney built of rock from the
nearest canyon The lone man in building
had wisely chinked it tight with mud and
moss, and as he had no window and pun
cheon door, he could keep out the frost with
sufficient fuel A little mountain of stump
roots and logs lay beside his hearth, and an
immense coal, which had been section of
tree, made rosy his silent den. His couch,
made Of poles, had been drawn across the
earthen floor and placed directly in front of
the fire. 1t was cushioned with skins, and
he had over him the remnants of the best
overcoaG which he had brought to the State.
A few other garments hung upon pegs on
his log walls. His polished gun-case, a sub
stantial leather trunk, and, upon a rough
shelf, some silver spoons, were all the OBJ
jeots in his cabin which suggested to the
eye past plenty or former surroundings Of
refinement -r
For the lone man himself was piteous
creature, his feverish face half swallowed in
auburn touzle, his weary and detected eyes
constantly sinking their lids in sick lam
Guor. He was young, built with sound
white muscles, true love of wholesome
outdoor life, and certain practical grasp
and acceptance Of existing facts; these
things favored him in his fight with
the Wilderness But, on the other hand, he
was unframed and uneduoated, had been
the sport of hard fate from his birth. and
lay now half poisoned by sullen detection;
and these things were against him. He had
been "Stevien to partial sisters. He had
been Baby" to mother and family bunch
now long scattered He had been mere
Steve Barrymore here and yonder to a
world which regarded him with perfect in
difference and some contempt And now
no felt as if he were even less than that
Door unit; q mass of human nothingness
which Icould only be and ache. This lone
saaan was not apt at putting his emotions
snto words. He started up once and burst
into tears The tears of an honest human

For naught too dear can be

And GLORY in the highest
Our lips shall sing to-day
Unto the blest Redeemer

And we with sage and shepherd
